Here is a valid business plan:
1. start your own channel
2. charge a fee for getting onto that channel
3. invite some traders for free to make the channel relevant
4. generate enough revenue on that channel to make it worthwile to be on
5. bann scammer from your channel
6. stay classy

I accept your donations
Thanks!

It really depends on how well the player understands the system. There aren't a lot of scams left that do a very good job of tricking an astute player, but there's still the margin trading scam, for one.


Margin trading is easy though, just never buy anything with the sole intention of selling it to a particular buy order in the same system.

I can create the list but not an ingame option to load all the list in couple clicks, importing it name by name is less functional. If i use 3-rd party software to add scammers automatically it becomes problem with EULA rules. Tripware just reads your ingame activity and not writing it. With current functionality i can only add players one by one... but amount of scammers are asking me to add them by dozens... The hornest traders gonna come as soon as scammers gonna be cleaned out so there is no gonna be need to create extra trade channel and distribute it's name


If you had your own private chat channel for honest traders, and they all had the ability to add scammers to a list that can be accessed via the in game browser, it would work well. Think crowdsourcing.

Stop asking CCP to do your work for you, and get started on the project.

What the point to add traders one by one? It takes too much time. CCP must do their work any way, online is going down and that means that company must finally listen what players say and do their best, thats CCP who must think crowdsourcing and organize kind of interaction with programmers and designers outside their small company, with those who ready to work for nothing, just cuz they love this game and can contribute in... If CCP's high command was clever anought to gather information and ready to try new possibilities - the game could become better, but they are not... And community is not organized enought to push what they want, CSM actually have minor influence. I gonna work on scammers list as soon as CCP gonna add fresh button, thanks.

Adding one button to the game could cut steps to:
1. Type in google "scammers list eve"
2. Copy
3. Paste by using "import from clipboard" ingame option
4. Enjoy the technical progress

And there are literally zero honest traders in jita local.


Eh, you see about 3 a day who are honest traders, and 5-10 scammers who admit it's a scam and want money for lulz value of a scammer admitting it.

Flying crazier,

The complaint in here is a bit specific. Import/Export for block lists and standings is a more general suggestion and might gain more traction. Is that what you were thinking with this? If so take a +1.
